[SOLVED][Q] Battery issues?

Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use

none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.

Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?

tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps

well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up

I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.

I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

wp7 unknown battery drain

For the past 2 nights i have been experiencing this
had 50% power left the night before...
after 6 hours sleep
phone is out of battery @@
Now that aint right, im guessing something is running under locked screen and iono what!!! but i always jump out of any program when im about to sleep too, so it cant be because of that
In the past, i could have standby time for a long period especially after one night. But the past two days when i woke up, it always ran out of battery!! Also when i charged my phone to full life, i sometimes come back after a hour or two to find it dead!!!
This has never happened before and im wondering what could be the cause of it.
In the past i could leave my wifi, bluetooth, location on and it would still last overnight and i wasnt running any program
It cant be because of alphajax right? I mean i did install that two nights ago :\

That is really weird, which phone do you have? I have the hd7 and get 2 days between charges most of the time. Have you tried uninstalling alphajax to see if that helps?

I use a HTC mozart 7
Im gonna try uninstalling a few apps to see if that helps or switch to my secondary battery pack

just to let you know i watch videos before i go to sleep and because its get so hot it drains battery faster, even though i had 50% after I finished watching it went all out in about 8 hours of sleep.

That sounds highly likely, i was playing a game before that, then left it alone for 1 hour, check still had 50% battery, and then went to sleep
woke up with a dead phone

I will confirm that when I have overworked my focus, ie several hours of video and games, the battery can get very hot and if I wait until I get the low power warning, plugging it into my laptop USB can't keep up with the drain.

ok this is ridiculous
in 3 hours i lost 30% power on standby
ITS ON BLOODY STANDBY!!! lol i cant figure out whats causing it. I didnt use the phone for anything at all then put it to charge till 100%. Started counting down time...

If I were you and you dont mind loodsing games aves etc, Id try a hard reset and if that doesnt solve the problem go to LG and ask them to fix it if there may be a fault.
Sorry I cant help further and Goodluck!

I've had this issue as well. This has been going on for months for me. Before NoDo and the pre-update.

Perhaps the battery isn't calibrated properly. Mine shoots down to 50% over the day but sometimes an hour or so after I hit fifty the battery goes critical then dies.

Battery Drain
I have the Samsung Focus. Pre NoDo I could get maybe 18 hrs in standby, and charging from USB on my computer was not happening. I had to plug it into the wall. If I actually used my phone for maps, calls, web or whatever I would get about 10 hr's depending how "how much I used it". This was with EVERYTHING turned off. Bluetooth, location services, feedback, anything and everthing I could disable. After NoDo, I get about 2 days, and now it will charge from my computers USB. Go figure.
All I can guess is there was some sort of corruption in the ROM.
Just a side note, does anybody know what "NoDo" stands for???
Answer: No Donuts

Before the February and March updates, I woke up one day to see my battery had drained from 100% to 0% in about 6 hours of sleep. After recovering from an angry awakening next morning, I paid a lot of attention to how the battery was draining. So I charged up to 100%, went to work on the tube as I always do, and noticed how after about 45 minutes, the battery was down to 50%. That was just some music playback and checking a few mobile websites.
In the end I remembered the day before I had installed two applications, one of them being Lyrics and the other one being a BPM (beats per minute) detector for getting the tempo of a music track. I decided to remove that application and, voilá, the battery drain stopped. I would have uninstalled the Lyrics app but this was already taking me to a decent power usage state, so I stopped there.
If I were you I would check recently installed apps to make sure you don't have a power drainer that's magically working in the background when you put the phone to sleep.

Did you disable feedback in settings. That extended my battery life considerably

I know what your going through, but i found the solution.
Your mobile data is constantly running to check for updates on the game and push notifications. Disable data connection whenever your not using it, and i swear you will see a massive improvement. I have a htc trophy and its notorious for its bad battery. I used to only get 4-6 hours out of it, and now i get 12-14, with WiFi.

That reminded me.... alphajax uses push (although i had disabled it) to notify the user if the other player had made a move...
It all seems LOGICAL that alphajax is the culprit here....
but i also have lyrics, how does that app affect the battery???

Battery died overnight at 70%

I searched all over trying to find a similar situation, but I couldn't, so I'm starting a new thread.
My HTC One X is a little over a month old and so far I haven't had any major battery issues.
I charged my phone to full yesterday (during the day) and when I went to sleep it was in the 90% range.
As you can see in the attachment, around 6 am the phone completely shut off. It went from 70 to 0% battery in a matter of seconds. I plugged it back in this morning and it's been charging fine.
It doesn't seem to be a temperature issue either. I'm really at a loss for what could have caused this issue. Any advice?

I've had my one x since the US release date and mine has done this to me about 10 times now. My phone is always charged before I go to bed and I always kill all running programs on the task manager before bed. It's a real pain when you wake up in the morning and check the time, find your phone is dead, and see that you have overslept your alarm. 1st world problem I know but this is a huge pain when it happens. I'm pretty tired of it.tempted to see if I can trade up for an SIII. Btw, mine did this for the 1st time the 2nd night I had the phone. My old BB could go to sleep on low battery and it wouldn't die overnight.
Maybe the phone is looking for updates? Maybe lte is the issue?

I am having the same issue for two nights in a row now. Last night, the phone had 50% battery, and I turned off almost everything, wifi, data, most of applications. The phone still died this morning. I called HTC support today, and they said if you leave the phone in sleep mode with 50%, it won't last until the next day. I had my phone a little over a month. I am going to fully charge tonight, and see if it dies over night again.

Hello all! I am having the same problem too. I can have the phone in my pocket at school from 9am-9pm during a normal day and with some light usage, have the battery last the whole time. However if I use the phone in bed while falling asleep, get tired and lock the phone with like 70% battery, it will be dead in the morning. If I look at the battery usage graph, it too shows an instant 70%-0% battery change. Is it a battery conditioning problem? Meaning that the phone is not able to properly gauge the battery's current level of charge and thinks it still has 70% left but then just dies?

Couldn't see pics on my HOX. My ides wouldn't mean much. I sorry guys.

I think this is a more serious problem. I charge my phone over night.
Slept in this morning because because my battery died overnight.
It was on charge. How does the battery die.
Pressing power did nothing
Held for ten secs to force reboot

Wtf

Sorry about reviving this thread but this happened to me 3 times now.. I have an S4 HTC One X but have the same problem. Had the issue on both a custom from and on stock. Is there a known fix for this?

this happened to me too. about five times. i charge my phone to full just before i sleep and unplug it when i decide to sleep only to wake up with the phone dead(and I am late for work). I always make sure I close apps every night before I sleep. But ever since I updated my phone to 2.17, I have had nothing but buttery smoothness and 16-22hrs of battery life.

This is my second One X. It happens to me about once a week. Everything is great and suddenly battery charge is dropping like crazy. There's nothing running in the background that would trigger this behavior. My first phone worked great but one day just died and would never power on again.

[Q] Overnight Battery Issues

I've been having this issue with my watch. See the attached screenshot. Battery life literally takes a dive overnight and my two day battery life is being shortened. I haven't been able to solve this thing. I tried resetting the watch, restarts, yelling at it.., nothing worked. Anyone have similar issues?

Most likely an app that's messing things up. Either uninstall all apps an reinstall one by one or just factory reset.

I've had a similar problem with mine, was at 70% at 11PM, and I woke up at 7% at 7.15AM.
What I found out was the culprit was the "tilt to wake" option in the Android Wear app.
Well, that's not the actual thing to blame, it's more than I tend to move a lot during the night, and the watch waking up hundreds of times made the battery fall under 15% even if it wasn't connected or if it hadn't received any notification (I keep the phone in airplane mode at night).
Try that, you'll see that you'll leave your watch at 70% at night, and you'll find it at 68% in the morning.

another option
You can put the watch in theater mode before going to bed too. Double click the side button to enter and exit it. I like the tilt to wake but also toss and turn at night, plus the girlfriend kept slapping my wrist during the night to turn off the "blinding light " lol

Tried and Tried
So I've been trying to see if any application was messing it up. I don't put my watch on at night. I leave it on my desk. At around the 25% mark, the battery always takes a dive, I've noticed this multiple occasions. So, I kept track of the watch at 25% to see what happens? It's like a countdown every minute battery level decreases 1% till zero. I have no idea if this is a bug on my phone but I can't solve it. I requested a new SW3 from google. Should come in tomorrow. Really frustrating to see that battery percentage dip like that.

Hmmmmm, I have noticed similar and in fact had it last night.
Now if I just take it off and go to bed then all's fine, last night I turned it off at about 40% left, turned it back on and it was down to 11% and popping up battery warnings.
Only seems to do it if I turn it off which is wierd.

Random **** off after Marshmallow when battery under 10%?

After taking Marshmallow, I am finding my phone just randomly shuts off, like a full off, randomly when the phone is less than 10%.
Sometimes it does a full off at 7%, others at 4%.
It doesnt even say, "Powering down". Its just a blip and black screen.
It is random. It flipped off at 12% the other day. 5% earlier. I've done a full deplete and full charge several times to try and calibrate it, but no luck.
It could be this phone. I need to call and have it replaced tomorrow.

Just to let you know, I don't think it's your phone if you are on Marshmallow. Out of the million phones and software updates I have taken, I have never had a buggier phone than my G4 on Marshmallow! Factory resets, cache clean, research etc... Touch response, knock code, page loading, app loading seems to be much slower and not function near as well as lollipop.
I have also read somewhere about early shutdowns when battery is low.
To say the least I am disappointed in marshmallow on my G4.

Im getting the same thing usually at 4%.
battery life always seems to go 10-20% on every android update I've taken since my galaxy nexus. Its kind of getting annoying.
Im probably going to do a factory reset soon.
2 hours of screen on time is just terrible.

Yea when I first got my G4, I had battery for days. Like 30% at bedtime after playing on it all day. Now its dead at 4pm and I barely use it.
Good to know there is a weird battery bug. Before it would go through a power down screen and gracefully shut down.
